SCARF-PIN AND THE LIKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,715, dated June 9, 1891.

Application filed February 9, 1891. fierial No. 380,747. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SIMON GOLDNER, a subject of the King of Roumania, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have made a new and useful Improvement in Scarf-Pins and Similar Ornamental Articles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices for preventing ornamental articles of the class wherein an inserting-pin is used from being removed from the personal apparel of the wearersuch as a cravatin which the article may be placed.

My invention consists in the combination, with the article, of devices whereby the article may be absolutely secured in the cravat and its removal, except at the will of the wearer, prevented.

My invention further consists in the combination of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

I11 the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a scarf-pin provided with my invention; Fig. 2, a side elevation thereof, showing the scarf-pin inserted in a cravat; Fig. 3, an enlarged sectional View taken on the line A B, Fig. 1, with the pin secured in the cravat; Fig. 4, a similar view taken on the line D, Fig. 2.

The same numerals of reference refer to like parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings, 1 is the pin or inserting part of the article, provided with a sharpened end 2, and is the fabric of the cravat into which the pin has been inserted.

The pin 1 is provided with bifurcated arms 4: 5, extending outwardly, from the ends of which depends the setting 5, having a receptacle 6 for stones, (to. The setting is provided with a band 7, to which the arms 4 5 are directly secured and which, for the purposes of this invention, needs only to exist at the point of union with the said arms. The arms 4: 5 are provided with enlarged sections 8 9' for the reception of the stud 10, which extends from both of the arms through the open space between them. Pivotally secured upon the stud 10 and between the arms 4 5 is what I term a locking-hook 11, which is provided with a device which engages with the cravat to secure the setting in it. The hook 11 has an upwardly-projecting arm 12,by which the hook is vibrated. The hook has an enlarged section 13, which I shall call a detent, and is devised to engage with the band 7, holding the said hook in a closed position and preventing it from becoming accidentally disengaged. The lower end of the hook is provided with a bifurcated extension 14, ending in curved and sharpened prongs 15, which surround the pin 1 of the article and enter the fabric of the cravat when operated.

When the prongs have entered the fabric, as shown in Fig. 3, the article cannot be removed except by moving the locking-hook into the position shown in Fig. 2, when the pin can be removed from the fabric. lVhen the hook is in the position shown in Fig. 3, the detent 13 binds against the band 7, so that it cannot be disengaged accidentally. The enlargement of the body of the hook 11, whereby the detent 13 is formed, need only exist at such point where it will come in contact with the band 7 when the hook is in a closed position, or, in other words, when the prongs 15 have entered the cravat.

Instead of the detent 13,a spring or equivalent device may be used to hold the hook in a closed position, and it is not necessary to have the pin 1 between the bifurcated end of the hook, as these parts may be otherwise arranged in relation to each other; but I prefer the form shown.

While I have described and illustrated my invention as applied to a scarf-pin, it is evident that the same principles of construction can be readily applied to any other similar ornamental article of personal wear and the like without departing from my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination, with the pin 1, of the bifurcated arms at 5, extending from the said pin, and a locking-hook 11, having prongs 15, the said hook being pivotally secured to the said arms, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the locking-hook 11, pivotally secured upon a setting, of the detent 13 on the said hook, and a coacting band 7 on the setting, the band and detent coacting to hold said hook in a closed position, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the pin 1, arms 4 5, extending from said pin, and a setting" seprovided with the curved prongs 15, a detent cured to said arms, of the 10ckin, '-h00k 11, 13 for engagement with the band 7, and an pivotally secured Within the arms 4 5 and upwardly-extending arm 12,-substantially as having a bifurcated extension 14 and curved described. 5 prongs 15, and an upwardly-extending arm Signed at the city, county, and State of New 12, substantially as described.

4. The combination, with the pin 1, arms 4 5, extending from the pin, a setting secured SIMON GOLDNER' to the arms and having the band 7, of a lock- Witnesses: 1o ing-hook 11,piv0ta1ly secured Within the said JOSEPH L. LEVY,
